What is the status of Log 2.0? This thread seems to imply that it is imminent, but it is also 18 months old. After losing 90% of speed games to people who farm idiosyncrasies of specific maps, I would love to replay what went down. I don't mind if I need to use an addon, just give me the option to download a detailed game log with troop counts at the end of the game.

Sounds like a good community contributed mod. *wink*

We already have the "Handy Game History" script - although I am unsure if it still works correctly at present...

However - once Game Log 2.0 comes out - then a full replay system would be available as an add-on script...

Which would be awesome!!

Handy script is now working. But that is max what can be done with current log - no armies, no failed attacks, no nukes.

yes this idea would greatly enhance an already excellent site all i can say is do it do it do it

This is a brilliant (albeit not original) idea.
I've countless times wished that this feature was in existence, and would undoubtedly use it a LOT.

I agree 100%, it would be a great addition.

Great Idea! :idea:

I've thought about this too.

This is available through the bob snapshot isn't it?

Sorry to be the crasher at the party...

If not through the bob snapshot, then through the Handy Game History add-on.

We won't ever be able to record dice rolls, therefore we won't be able to record how many troops were where. As far as I'm concerned, Handy Game History does this sufficiently and no sitewide implementation is required, and since there is an add-on to do this, this is being moved to Rejected, thank you very much. Have a good day -

After playing a few games, i have really enjoyed reading through the logs to think about strategies for future games. I was wondering if there would be any sort of possibility of there being someone of making a kind of replay facility to actually watch what happened on the map. Often things can be missed between turns and in fog of war games you are completely unable to see what actually happened elsewhere on the map. Obviously this function would only be available after the game has reached it's end for all players.

If anyone has played the Civilization series of games, I was thinking something akin to the end of game highlights would be extremely helpful. For those of you who haven't, it would basically consist showing all regions of the map and then playing through each go in turn but at an accelerated rate (with a pause option?). I'm not sure how hard this would be as i'm no computer programmer, but I could see it being a incredibly useful tool, as well as being quite entertaining also. What do you think?

I was just thinking the same thing myself when I found your post. I think it's a great idea and I hope someone does design one.

by **nebsmith** on Mon Dec 13, 2010 2:45 pm

On first thought I really liked this idea, but then I realised that I wouldn't want any current or future opponents looking at my old games to see how I played in fog or what strategies I was using on some of the more complex maps.

So while I agree it could be a good teaching tool, I don't think I would want my past games available for analysis by my opponents.

by **Capt.Mainwaring** on Tue Jan 04, 2011 5:31 pm

yeah i do see what you mean. it could maybe be a selectable option when setting up the game. alternatively it could only be available on non fog-of-war games so secret strategies would have been able to be seen throughout the game. my personal choice would be different however, and allow post game replays to only be seen by players of that actual game, after all, if they haven't paid attention in the game then they won't be paying much attention to the replay afterwards either.

by **IcePack** on Tue Jan 04, 2011 6:42 pm

Restrict it to your own games, or non-fog games.

by **Capt.Mainwaring** on Mon Jan 10, 2011 2:38 am

yes, that is pretty much my thoughts too. replays for any non-fog game you are involved in and on fog games it could be a selectable option at the start of the game by the host.
